LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11)-- The University of Louisville Medical School is making some big changes after being placed on probation by a major accreditation agency. <\/p>\n
The Medical School is responsible for educating the next generation of doctors, now it faces making changes in specific areas so its probationary status can be lifted . <\/p>\n
Dr. Toni Ganzel, the Dean of the Medical School, said the good news is that many of the changes are already fixed or soon will be. <\/p>\n
\"I'm confident that all these things will be able to be positioned for success,\" Ganzel said. <\/p>\n
The major accrediting agency visited the campus in 2013. The two biggest areas of change involve the pace of the curriculum. <\/p>\n
It's an area that 4th year medical student Jessica Huber said has greatly improved and benefitted her. <\/p>\n
\"I think because of that experience and the experiences we had through the excellent first year curriculum, our class was able to set a record for the average board score passing for our step one,\" Jessica Huber said. <\/p>\n
